The Shadow on the Glass A Cthulhu by Gaslight Novel

When two spiritist swindlers accidentally summon something horrific from beyond the stars, they must thwart a sinister time-spanning plot, in this first Victorian-era gaslight fantasy set in the world of Chaosium’s Call of Cthulhu.

Enter London in 1891 in The Shadow on the Glass, a Cthulhu by Gaslight novel by Jonathan L Howard. Elizabeth Whittle and William Grant make their living as spiritist swindlers, posing as the grand medium Cerulia Trent and her agent to convince wealthy clients that they can speak with the dead.

A scientifically minded detective begins closing in on their fraud, prompting the pair to attempt one final séance before escaping to the continent. The performance goes catastrophically wrong when they summon something genuinely horrific from beyond the stars, leaving Lizzie changed and William desperate to undo what they have unleashed.

Williams search for a way to save his friend draws him into an eldritch mystery spanning time and threatening the known world. The novel combines Victorian criminal intrigue, gaslight fantasy and cosmic horror in the first Cthulhu by Gaslight story set within Chaosiums Call of Cthulhu universe.
